Maine: official power outage sources

Central Maine Power and Versant Power deliver most of Maine's electricity. Eastern Maine Electric Cooperative, Fox Islands Electric Cooperative and several town and island systems, including Houlton, Kennebunk, Madison and Van Buren, serve other areas. The Maine Public Utilities Commission oversees electric delivery companies.

If your power is out

Stay away from downed lines and anything touching them. Call 911.
Report it to your own utility. The name and outage phone number are on your electric bill. Do not assume a neighbor has reported it.
Check your utility's outage page for the area affected and any restoration estimate. Only your utility can give that estimate.

Good to know in Maine

Much of northern Maine is not directly connected to the New England grid and has its own grid administrator.
If you are served by a town or island system, such as Van Buren, Matinicus, Isle au Haut or Monhegan, check with that system; CMP's and Versant's maps do not cover you.
Swan's Island is now part of Versant Power's service area.

The wider grid

Regional grid organizations and balancing areas that cover all or part of Maine: ISO New England; Northern Maine Independent System Administrator. They balance supply and demand on the high-voltage system. Their alerts describe the regional system, not an outage on your street. How the pieces fit together
